18 x 11.5cm. 338pp. Printed wrappers. First edition thus of this keynote work from the seminal French philosopher and quintessential 'man of feeling' of the Romantic period. Here, Foucault contributes an 18 pages preface; surely routed through the like discursive methodology, which resulted in his first published work 'Histoire de la Folie a L'Age Classique' (1961) and his dissertation 'Maladie Mentale et Personalite'. Minor sunning to spine, else a very good example. Uncommon.
